that's beautiful, it looks like the designo option jacks up the price quite a bit.

Interesting pics.

Reminds me of tectite grey - which used to be a stock colour

The stock colours on the 55 are pretty narrow. For me its only a choice between the old favourite obsidian, silver or cubanite. Cubanite is too risky, hence probably silver. Obsidian looks top dollar on most mercs, but it doesn't bring out the SLK AMG kit design (though you could argue it would help hide the fussier bits...!)

How about taking some more pics in daylight??

Beautiful colour!! I'm seriously considering getting the designo graphite-grey paint with tobacco brown nappa leather. Is yours the full designo package? If so, some interior pix would be greatly appreciated. I wouldn't complain about a few more exterior pix also!!

These pictures are on mbslk.de, and its actually a designo green/graphite colour. looks just grey in the pictures, except one where you can see the green tinge. its more obvious on the mbslk.de site (goto the 171 "farbe" (i.e. colour) link)
